Gear & Style
Club fitting, strings and tension, the right soles and what to wear at the club.
Kit matters less than practice, but the wrong kit can hold you back or hurt your arm. These guides explain what a club fitting measures, how strings and tension change a tennis racket, why the sole of a court shoe matters more than its brand, and how to read a club’s dress code.
Tennis strings and tension, how the bed changes every shot
Strings are the only part of the racket that touches the ball. How string type, gauge and tension shape power, control, spin and comfort, and when to restring.
Court and golf shoes, why the sole matters more than the brand
Tennis, padel and golf ask your feet to do very different things. How outsoles, support and fit differ, which sole suits which ground and when to replace a pair.
What to wear at the golf and tennis club, dress codes decoded
Collars, whites, denim and hats: what golf, tennis and padel clubs usually expect, why the rules exist and how to dress comfortably for your first visit.
